Keep saving your money, metal fans, because the insanely awesome tours just keep coming and coming. In our latest edition of 'Tours You'd Be Insane to Miss,' sludge metal heroes High on Fire are scheduled to embark on a North American trek with one of our personal favorites, Goatwhore, along with Columbus, Ohio natives Lo-Pan. As if that isn't cool enough, Primate (who feature members of Mastodon and Brutal Truth) and Corrosion of Conformity will each be playing select dates of the trek.

Phew, now that we've found a suitable change of undergarments, we'll give you all the precious details. After a stint in rehab for alcohol issues, High on Fire frontman Matt Pike is back in action, with the trek kicking off Nov. 15 in Austin, Texas. The tour conclude in San Francisco on Dec. 22.

Goatwhore and Lo-Pan will appear for all tour dates, while Primate (featuring Mastodon's Bill Kelliher and Brutal Truth's Kevin Sharp) will jump aboard from Nov. 23 - Dec. 1. Corrosion of Conformity will be a part of the tour from Dec. 18-21, in addition to noise legends Sunn O))), who will be playing the tour's Los Angeles stop on Dec. 20.
